"Effectiveness of a Telerehabilitation Program Versus a Conventional Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Subacromial Pain"

The purpose of this prospective, randomized, parallel-group, single-center, controlled non-inferiority clinical trial is to determine whether a telerehabilitation program is non-inferior to a conventional rehabilitation program in patients with subacromial pain. Subacromial pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition, and while therapeutic exercise is the cornerstone of conservative management, adherence to home programs is often low. Conversely, conventional in-person physical therapy presents logistical and economic barriers for patients. This study aims to evaluate if a well-designed telerehabilitation program, utilizing information and communication technologies for remote monitoring, can provide an effective, accessible, and non-inferior alternative to conventional care. The primary outcome measured will be the change in shoulder function utilizing the QuickDASH questionnaire at 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes will assess pain intensity (VAS), range of motion (ROM), treatment adherence, and long-term functional outcomes.
